  • 4/5 Annastasia R. 8 months ago on Google
    I've stayed here several times. Though the rooms are very small, they are neat & clean. Maybe the most neat & clean and peaceful hotel room you'll get in Paharganj. No loud people or tv sounds like in many other hotels. The price is also reasonable, as breakfast is also included. Also, most of the staff is very friendly and always ready to help. I never faced any problem staying here. Moreover, even without me asking, the staff often asks how I am and if I need any help. It's really good service. Just the last 2 days of my recent stay I faced very rude behaviour from 1 person who often sits at the reception. He called me twice talking rudely and the last time even shouting that I had to vacate the room, while I had extended and paid extra for the half day, notifying I would be leaving around 7.45 PM, as my train was at 8.20 PM from New Delhi Railway Station. On check-out I explained him in a gentle way that he can be more friendly in future, but even then he responded in a very rude way, telling me to leave and not come back. Except for this 1 person's rude behaviour, my stay was very pleasant and I would recommend Smyle Inn.

    If you're booking this hotel 'PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM DOING IT' especially if you are traveling with family. The hotel is located inside a very nasty and unclean street where you can see people spitting and urinating everywhere. The people on the street, especially the street vendors are very rude. It's a very unhygienic environment. Even Uber and Ola cab drivers hesitate to pickup from this location since it is very crowded. Now the hotel, The rooms and the bathrooms are very small. Rooms don't have any cupboards to keep your belongings. The bathroom is very small in such a way that if you get in, you may have to adjust yourself to close the door. They won't even clean the room regularly. They said there is complimentary breakfast and it's from 8 to 10am. But you may have to wait so long to get something. I took the juice and banana they give along with the breakfast to save time. The staff are rude during the checkout time. I have paid extra for half day. But they asked to vacate the room before that.

    I had booked a room for 2 nights in this hotel. When I reached the location, obviously it wasn't up to the mark. But it was fine. They gave us a very small room when I checked in as there were no rooms available at that tike but they assured us that they will let us know if any room is available after that. The bathroom was congested. There's no gap between the Washbasin and the toilet which is made it very difficult to use the washroom. Good thing was that they provided free breakfast and their terrace is so beautiful. As assured, they shifted us to some other room and that was good and the bed was big enough. Only issue was with the washroom. Not spacious and just as same as the previous one. Overall the staff was very friendly and polite. There service was also quick and nice. I would recommend this hotel for sure but only if you are on a budget trip.

    I had been staying there for 8 days and it was better than my expectations; simply awesome. Every hotel staff behaviour was polite and most friendly. They are staff cum friend. Especially, Ravi ji, wonderful friendly guy, if anyone travel alone that person will definitely be your best friend in Smyle Inn.

    I stayed in Smyle Inn on my first night in India for only one night before heading to Varanasi. It was easy to reach the hostel from the airport with the metro and rickshaw. The people were friendly and helpful. The hostel and room was clean. I stayed in a female dorm. It was small but clean. I'd recommend. Thanks Smyle Inn team.

    Smyle Inn - Hotel exceeded my expectations! Warm hospitality, cozy rooms, and a delightful atmosphere. A home away from home. Highly recommend for a heartwarming stay!"

  • 5/5 kaylara b. 1 year ago on Google
    We stayed here twice during our India tour. The staff were wonderfully helpful and the hotel was perfect for what we needed. In both cases we paid to have air conditioning and that was a life saver! Things were clean and sanitary. If we come back I will be staying again!

    An oasis of peace in a chaotic street. The rooms are cool and calm, clean sheets, kind and helpful staff. Fair prices too. Receptionist Ravi helped us a lot, flexible checkout. Recommended!

  • 5/5 Arzi S. 1 year ago on Google
    A worth the money budget place to stay. The host is very helpful and staff is also good. However, the location may not be appealing to some. So if you're looking for a nice place on a budget, go for it.

  • 4/5 Rajkumar M. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 PΓ©ter H. 1 year ago on Google
    I stayed here for 4 nights. The location is perfect: in the Main Bazaar, Metro Blue Line and New Delhi station is 5 miutes walk. Amazingly friendly and helpful staff. The place is clean, breakfast is okay.

  • 5/5 MarΓ­a Isla H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and clean room with AC, quiet street. Mr Ravi, the front desk worker, took care of our luggage for 15 days while we travelled through India. We were very thankful! Nice place!

  • 4/5 Nikunj A. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent for solo travelers, also one of the best place for the foreigners. Location isn't good although, since in Paharganj you will barley found any better place POV locality", however it's in city centre so everything is nearby! Rooms and service were good all the amenities can be utilised as per individual requirements. One of the biggest problem is that they don't have luggage room, so it can be hard for couple or family travelers to keep there luggage near reception.

  • 5/5 Noah N. 8 months ago on Google
    Clean Hostel, very good location near to the New Delhi Railway Station and right next to Main Bazar. The staff was very friendly and answered all the questions we had, which was very helpful!! Very good breakfast on the rooftop in the morning where you can socialize with others. I'll definitely go back there!

    Great stay at Smyle Inn. Friendly and helpful staff especially Ali who helped with Sim card, train tickets, booking a driver, restaurant recommendations and general advice. The location is perfect, near the metro and train station with many shops and restaurants nearby. The rooms are clean and the free breakfast is very good. Don't hesitate to stay here!

  • 5/5 KASIA 4 months ago on Google
    Had a great time at Smyle Inn - a very affordable and comfortable stay. Only recco would be to add a note in the initial email stating that permits are NOT needed to enter Paharganj area. We had some confusions with that when we arrived. Thank you for the support with setting up our SIM card and for the delicious [included] breakfasts!

  • 5/5 Anupam T. 5 months ago on Google
    I visited few weeks back, the most important thing that hostel is well maintained ambience is good you can stay multiple nights as its cozy & safe for solo travellers. Nearest to the Railway Station at a walking distance what do we need more & above all what we need as a solo travellers is that peace of mind, there you can get.

  • 5/5 Ander C. 8 months ago on Google
    I had a very enjoyable stay at Smyle Inn. The hostel is located in the backpacker area with easy access to the main tourist spots. The staff is very welcoming and helpful sorting out things like getting an Indian SIM card and money change. I would recommend this place to all my friends.

  • 5/5 Andrew D. 7 months ago on Google
    I spent 1 month living at Smyle Inn. I couldn't speak more highly of the ownership, staff and services. I was treated incredibly well and with such friendliness. I was very happy with all services and felt my expectations were exceeded. Regardless of the length of your stay, I highly recommend booking your stay with this fantastic team.

  • 5/5 Gerbrich W. 4 months ago on Google
    I enjoyed my stay here and the people working here were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was good and changed each day. They helped me with the motorcycle, the breakfast for leaving early, the sim card, and leaving some luggage. It's close to the metro station (very convenient and easy to use in Delhi also for foreigners). And close to fine places to eat.

  • 5/5 Dawa Tenzing L. 2 years ago on Google
    I stayed in this hotel for 18 days. My experience goes like this. - Clean, hygienic & affordable rooms - Good for students & backpackers - Staffs are really helpful & charming - Quality service - No Power cut or AC cut or any other facilities ( I heard other hotels cutting AC after midnight) - Hotel & the area is also safe. - Peaceful area. Note : Only the main entrance of the GALLI will smell horrible, so hold your breath for a sec and walk fast ( This is only the worst part of this area ) People living & working in this area are also helpful & good.

  • 3/5 sebin b. 2 years ago on Google
    Stay & staff are good, but the bathrooms aren't. The location is shady, mainly because the entire area (Paharhganj) is shady

  • 5/5 Rakshit P. 2 years ago on Google
    Every single person (staff) in this hotel is quite cooperative and friendly. Room and sheets were clean and hygienic. Wifi works great too. Though the locality is unhygienic but overall a great stay.

  • 5/5 Ahsan C. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended. This place has everything good staff, proximity to city centre and modern amenities.

  • 5/5 Ayushman T. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve never seen an owner so humble and cooperative. For the price you are paying, you are getting a heck of a deal with all required amenities. Food served is very good and they don’t compromise on quantity and quality or charge you extra if you want more. Location is near to Paharganj Metro Station and you can roam entire Delhi through Metro facility. This hotel is always packed with tourists especially from abroad. Staff is really good and will provide all possible assistance - pickup and drop facility, room services, you name it. A bit of nitpicking but definitely not a deal breaker and can easily be corrected- water needs to flow more easily through wash basin and toilet. Also need for an extension or more ports for charging devices. Overall highly recommend and one of if not the best place to stay in Paharganj area.

  • 3/5 Baibhavi K. 2 years ago on Google
    My overall experience was okay. The staffs were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean, well maintained and service was nice too. Only thing I didn't like about this hotel was its location. Other than that if you have a tight budget and looking for a decent place to stay, go for it. Make sure to book front side window facing room, backside room don't have windows and its very cold and dark.

  • 5/5 Anjana S. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a nice stay in symle inn. The staff and the owner was really nice and friendly. The rooms are clean and comes at affordable price. The place has open terrace and breakfast is complimentary as well.

  • 5/5 Navneeth .. 2 years ago on Google
    Had an extremely pleasant stay. Booked through Airbnb on a short notice but the owner who is a super host was very accommodating and caring. Kept in constant touch. Coming to the room, it is very comfortable. And had hot water 24/7. Room service was also very polite and prompt. Loved my stay here. Don't be intimidated by the crowd and traffic outside. This is a perfect place to stay surrounded by major famous eateries.

  • 4/5 Saloni N. 2 years ago on Google
    It is a great option for hotel to stay in if you're on a budget, the staff was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were a little too tiny but overall it was a great experience.

  • 5/5 Akshay T. 2 years ago on Google
    Place was great and also 3 minutes walkable from new delhi railway station. The guy named Ravi ( who manages all things ) is very helpful in nature.
